Following the success of this year’s event, the dates for Skipper Expo Int. Aberdeen 2019 have been confirmed as Friday 17 and Saturday 18 May.

Show organiser Mara Media were keen to get the 2019 dates announced as soon as possible, so as to give exhibitors and visitors plenty of time to plan ahead their diaries.

The 2018 expo has been hailed as a major success, with the event hosting 210 companies from 20 different countries. Visitor numbers were up 10% on last year, attracting visitors from 21 countries. Business was brisk over the two days with exhibitors reporting excellent levels of interest from visitors.

Sharon Boyle of Mara Media said: “We were thrilled at the feedback we received from exhibitors and visitor alike about the quality of this year’s show, and we took their views into account when setting the dates for Skipper Expo Int. Aberdeen 2019.

“On consulting with exhibitors and visitors, the overwhelming response was to avoid the Spring Bank Holiday weekend in the UK and for Aberdeen remaining as the favoured location for the event.”

Skipper Expo Int. Aberdeen 2019 will be held at the AECC on 17 and 18 May, opening times 10am to 6pm on Friday 17 May and 10am to 4pm on Saturday 18 May.
